Ben Domench: How the Establishment (and Would-Be Establishment, the Aspirational Establishment Types) Delude Themselves Into Thinking All of Their Failures Are Huge Wins the Public Should Be Grateful For
This crew has only two modes: failure and then self-flattery for that failure.
Really sharp -- and nasty -- piece by Ben Domench. Consider it well in light of the #Brexit fiasco. The Masters of Europe were all pretty certain they were delivering great value to the citizens of Europe -- and when the citizens of Europe told them otherwise, they consoled themselves by reassuring themselves that mere citizens are idiots, barely above animal level in reasoning power, and entirely unequipped to rate the performance of the True Elites.Comments

"'Google' searches for 'What happens if Britain leaves the EU?' spiked-- SPIKED I tell you-- after the polls closed but before the results started coming in. So this proves people didn't understand the vote.

Levels of dissatisfaction with leadership have reached revolutionary levels. It's a paradox of mass modern democracy that voters feel themselves governed by rulers who 'neither see nor feel nor know,' a political-business nexus that feeds on itself and promotes its own interests while mouthing platitudes at election time to keep the populace at bay. In Europe and the U.S. today, traditional political authority is worn like a scarlet letter...
The very idea that the state has a primary obligation to its native citizens has become unfashionable and virtually unsayable within the tightly controlled bounds of political correctness...

How can people be this stupid, and so completely insulated from politics, when they are politicians?!
Domenech has a great essay here. Americans are sick and tired of the administrative state, because it's toxic (EPA), incompetent (DHS) and aggressively hurtful (IRS). Americans are anti-immigration, because for forty years the government has promised to control borders and have failed. "Just get a fucking grip, that's all we ask", say the voters, and politicians respond with "Squirrel!".
Hopefully, fixing this will be easy. An election or three. Otherwise it'll be hard. And I, for one, hope we avoid "hard".

Rauch defends "parties, machines, and hacks" as the things that made politics work before we went and reformed politics with things like transparency and accountability. "there are all kinds of ways the parties could move insiders back to the center of the nomination process," he argues.

looking at the Lisbon Treaty. a member state can decide to withdraw etc
then:
Union shall negotiate and conclude an agreement with that State, setting out the arrangements for its withdrawal, taking account of the framework for its future relationship with the Union. That agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with Article 218(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It shall be concluded on behalf of the Union by the Council, acting by a qualified majority, after obtaining the consent of the European Parliament.
looks like they can decide Nah, not going anywhere if they want to.
am i reading this right?
additionally it says the withdrawing member's representative isn't part of the process.

We need to come up with something other than "elites."
Intelligentsia is probably the most accurate term, because it refers to people who are attempting to change and lead the culture, and not necessarily in step with the population at large.
But I prefer the term "cocksuckers". It's wonderfully vulgar, and dripping with contempt. Not to mention the ghey connotations, which pisses off even the most "enlightened".

Yet that's exactly what we do now. People who pay no taxes, nor have contributed in kind (by, e.g., serving in the military) have a say in how resources to which they have not contributed should be allocated.
Madness.

The best example is foreign policy. The foreign policies of Obama and Bush may appear different in approach, but the themes are the same. Lots of interventions, over weighted significance of the importance of the Middle East (in the age of fracking), free trade deals that go well beyond anything related to trade, etc. - in other words Wilsonian internationalism run wild. So wild in fact that giving away American sovereignty and money to the internationalist utopia is accepted in both parties as normal, and to question it is is a sign of "Nazism combined with Isolationism, mixed in with some strange form of Marxism" that must be stamped out.

One of my all-time favorite acronym repurposings came from the various zones of unrest in West Africa in the 1990s. A "peacekeeping" group called ECOMOG, made up of subunits from a couple of different African militaries, was dispatched to try to restore regional stability.
The locals later sourly recalled finding out that what ECOMOG actually stood for: Every Car Or Movable Object Gone.

even crazy Piers Morgan got it
No wonder Trump looks happy - Britain's exit from Europe should leave Hillary Clinton shaking in her boots and Donald knows it!
...Regardless of what you think of Trump's inflammatory rhetoric, and his uncompromising talk of walls and bans, does anybody really doubt after this shock Brexit result that he's right about the levels of anger?
It may not be obvious to the political and media elites living in their hallowed, protected homes in privileged areas.
But travel to the north of England, or to the middle of America, and you will find very real fury with government and very real concern over the impact of perceived immigration control failures.
There's an increasing large gulf between the politically correct 'cool' and 'establishment' crowd who view any publicly stated concern about border controls as 'racism', and those who have to live at the sharp end of it.
The clear message from this sensational day for any politician or world leader is this: ignore the concerns of the people at your peril.
...
What none of the UK pollsters, bookmakers and city experts realised was there was a huge groundswell of anger which was going to tip the balance away from their presumed favourite.
I don't endorse Trump for president, not least because of his stance on guns.
But this bombshell Brexit result should send a shudder down the spine of Hillary Clinton and all U.S. Democrats
If it can happen in Britain, it can most definitely happen in America.

Today's market reaction is all about the effects on monetary control. There will be winners and losers falling out of the change, but the general immediate decline in stock value and especially banks is because the big investors are thinking the jig will be up sooner than otherwise with the Fed and the European Central Bank. If you flood your economies with massive amounts of credit to prop up asset prices and the banks, then in order to keep inflation at bay you need to have massive, demography-changing influx of cheap third world labor, you need to move your production of goods and services to dollar-a-day countries and you need cheap energy. If the citizens of the First World countries are rejecting the latter, the central bankers can no longer maintain the former.

Canads has one of these as well. $2B spent spent on it only to be demolished after nobody wanted to fly out of there. It was 40 miles from the city and surprise, surprise, nobody wants to drive 40 miles to take a flight when there's another airport 10 miles away. It's so simple even a caveman could figure it out....but politicians couldn't.

This gigantic, insanely irresponsible experiment in economic engineering through extreme monetary distortion (ZIRP) in both currency zones simply has the odds stacked against it. I find it astonishing it has "worked" even this long.
Related - it's not just that "elites" aren't, as ace has quipped in the past. Starting to think that we have some of the dumbest "elites" in modern history. And it's across the board. Obviously the political arena is packed with small, unimpressive, untalented, irresponsible figures to an alarming degree. But the sub-mediocrity seems to extend to business, the military brass, and certainly education. It's across the board.
Character issue yes, but also simply intellectual mediocrity.

The Muslim Brotherhood is a long known terrorist sympathizing party, its founders spawned the first terrorist attack against the World Trade Center in 1993. In reaction to the Muslim brotherhoods election, President Barack Obamas White House issued a statement of congratulations, saying the U.S. would stand by the Egyptian people as they fulfill the promise of their revolution.

When it collapses the MSM will blame it all on President Trump. Just like how the Dems, the US government and Fannie/Freddie destroyed credit standards in the residential mortgage markets in the name of affirmative action and dumbfucks like Senator Obama (D-Fannie Mae) (who took the most money from Fannie out of all 100 senators) never had the finger pointed at them.

I decided to go horseback riding something I havn't done in over 20 yrs. It turned out to be a big mistake! I got on the horse and started out slow but then we went a little faster and before I knew it we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn't take the pace and fell off but caught my foot in the stirrup with the horse dragging me. It wouldn't stop it just kept going around and around in a circle.

Nope. Give away all that land as slavery reparations in a giant lottery. There will be some savings from firing most of the people at the BLM, Forest Service and Park Service but the big bucks come from having all those resources in the private sector. Money making enterprises pay taxes.
In addition having millions of black citizens winding up on the wrong end of federal bureaucracies will help create a political constituency to geld and exterminate those federal bureaucracies which will also have enormous positive effects on the economy.

Krauthammer argued that the stupid, bumbling Brexiters are ultimately going to lead to the end of the UK when Scotland and N. Ireland decide to leave. So apparently the Neocons would rather see the United Islamic Kingdom of Shithole Britain than for the British to control the political fate of their own country.
Trump today made the point that the weaker Pound would mean stronger tourism, including for Turnberry, and more competitive goods and services sold by the UK. Steve Hayes interpreted this as Trump crowing about Turnberry doing well notwithstanding an economic downturn in the UK and defended Obama from Trump's criticism.
How long before Bill Kristol and Steve Hayes are appointed to Hillary's fundraising committee?

Well, actually it is 40 acres and a mule but, yes, that is the general idea. Have a lottery to give away most of the federal land in 40 acre lots to the descendants of slaves. For added entertainment value, write into the law that the 40 acre lots can only be given to a family which is defined as one man and one woman and their children legally married by an ordained Christian priest or minister or Jewish rabbi. When the ACLU inevitably blocks it in court, release a statement that the Democrats will not let you get your chance to own 40 acres of oil wells in ANWR because they do not respect black preachers.
Even if it never gets passed, it will be lots of fun to see the Democrats arguing against it in Congress and on TV.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly when it happened, but after a point it was uncool to be seen with a lunchbox.
Prior to that, I was a 1%er. My parents bought me a new lunchbox every year. I don't remember what they were, but I'm pretty sure one was Lost In Space. That was my favorite show at the time. I was the same age as Will.

In other words, sophistry. They're trained to find the magic words which will enable a win. There is no such thing as right and wrong.
When both sides are sophists, what does a victory even mean? What do 'sides' even mean? They can probably swap back and forth seamlessly. I know that the real world can play no part in their machinations because then you'd have something measurable, a yardstick that would clearly say, hey, you fucked up.
Anyways, that's what built up over dinner. Probably means there's a new thread.

Have no idea. He and his family (wife, 2 kids) apparently live in our community, but when he said, "I've never been in combat, but after being in the mall yesterday..." I wanted to slap him.

Oh, I enjoyed them a lot more when I got older. Even the cereal that looked like sticks. I eat oatmeal every morning now. But Grape Nuts should have a warning label - CAUTION: TWICE AS DENSE AS NORMAL CEREAL - because you eat a big bowl of Grape Nuts and you better have a spot picked out to rest while your stomach goes to work. I think it can only digest like a 1/2 cup an hour.

Anyone happen to have information for an old fashioned bank fund or something? I'm not giving GFM 15% of one thin dime.
I'll send a check direct to the widow or to bank to direct to a fund but when I'm done with liberal/proggie asshats like GoFundMe I really am done and that was when they dropped one of the bakers or florists whilst raising funds for violent felons was fine.

Combat, to me, means shooting back. Never had that chance.
But when you can hear the mortar rounds coming out of the tube. . . and you are sitting on several hundred tons of Air Force ordance. What are you going to do?
There was a picture in Life magazine of a young Marine at Khe Sanh running towards a burning kickout laying next to a pallet of artillery rounds, trying to get to it before the pallet explodes.
